Grown in Hawaii, koa produces a warm comforting sound. For 2018 Breedlove has upgraded the fretboard and bridge to ebony and the electronics to LR Baggs EAS. This is the most stunning looking Pursuit Exotic.

Body ShapeThe Breedlove Concert is the original Breedlove shape. It first appeared in 1992, and has been the best-selling Breedlove body shape ever since. Designed specifically for the fingerstylist to be well balanced, compact, and comfortable to play, it generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The unique construction also allows the Concert to sing even at a full strum. If you’re a fingerstylist, or are seeking an instrument to use as vocal accompaniment, this is the shape for you. The Concert is engineered to provide exceptional sustain with a pronounced bass response, both of which can be achieved with a light touch. The graduated top works in harmony with the Breedlove Bridge Truss to provide an even response throughout the lows, mids, and highs, with sustain, and clear, concise, note-for-note projection.

Top WoodSitka spruce, picea sitchensis, originates in the northwest United States. Sitka spruce has been the primary top wood for American-made instruments for decades. It is strong and light with extended harmonic content, and it nearly equals the power of Adirondack. It offers a strong, focused tone with a solid fundamental -- perfect for flatpicking styles. When compared with European spruce, Sitka delivers warmer, more fundamental sound, largely free of overtones. Sitka takes a slightly longer period of playing time to open up. It has a straight uniform grain and coloration ranges from white to pink to light brown.

Back and Side WoodOne of the most visually stunning woods available, with golden hues and often with dramatic figure. Koa is characterized by a tone that is both clear and sweet. The voice grows over time, from sweet to sweeter. Clear and sweet. The wood “opens up” the more the instrument is played, expanding the midrange, for an even richer, sweeter tone over time. Due to its popularity, it is harder and harder to find top-quality koa. Limited supply has driven up prices in recent years, making koa expensive, and therefore rarely found in production guitars. Has the stiffness and clarity of rosewood, but with the warm, light tones of mahogany. Similar in weight and strength to black walnut. Colors range from brown to gold, with rich and varying grain, tending toward curl or flame figure in old-growth trees. Koa is a fast-growing tropical hardwood, native to the Hawaiian Islands. It requires up to 200 inches of annual rainfall. As a nitrogen fixing plant, it is perfect for growing in the young volcanic soil of the Islands

First of all I love the body style of the Breedlove pursuit series. It is small, comfortable, but doesn't compromise in sound. I shopped around looking at several different guitars including Taylors, Takamines, Gibsons, ect. comparing each one. I bought this one based on feel, playability, sound, and appearance. I was leaning towards the Taylor 214 ce koa but to me this one sounded and looked just as good if not better at a better price point. Having play this guitar for about a month now I am not disappointed at all. It is very comfortable to play. It has great action and playability. It has a great sound in the low and mid range. When plugged in the highs ring through a little too much but that can easily be compensated with the amps EQ. The electronics do a great job of amplifying the sound with no feedback that I have found so far. I do wish it had an on-board tuner but that is not a big deal. My only real complaint is that the sales clerk at the Raleigh branch did not provide the accessories for the guitar since this was a floor model.
